James, There was a conversation on the PEG back in April last year about adding stuff to the ubroker. I've pasted an email from that exchange below. The top comment is from David Craven. peg email For 3a) I use uuid=!{newValue:UUID} No need to run genuuid, mergeprop will take care of that for you when you load you new entry via the create or update options. Added bonuses of the mergeprop approach: 0) mergeprop will create a backup before it applies your changes -- you can fall back if something goes wrong. 1) You can use mergeprop to extract and clone entries 2) You can use mergeprop to validate entries 3) You can maintain your template properties in the source control of your choosing One caveat: you may need to launch your proenv window with "run as administrator" On 4/25/2013 8:41 AM, Peter Judge wrote: If you need to edit ubroker-style files by hand, I would recommend the following approach. 0) DO NOT EDIT THE $DLC UBROKER.PROPERTIES FILE BY HAND. EVER. NEVER EVER. You run the risk of messing it up and also, having your stuff overwritten if the Admin Server happens to be running while you are making your changes. The approach below helps mitigate the former and removes the latter. 1) If you're an ABL person, and are 1-based, see (0) 2) Create smaller files in which you have the stuff you want to change. If you want to change/add an AppServer, say, copy an existing AppServer from $DLC/properties/ubroker.properties or $DLC/properties/ubroker.samples. 3) Change what you want/need to. 3a) If you need a uuid value (and you will, for new entries), open ProEnv and run "genuuid". Copy& past the results of that into the new text file. 4) Now you can use the mergeprop tool (via ProEnv) to merge your new properties file into the runtime one (typically the one in $DLC). The output of the command without parameters is below. Take note of the VALIDATE option. I don't know when this command was introduced but I know it's been there since at least 10.1 and I think since 10.0. proenv mergeprop OpenEdge Release 11.2 as of Wed Feb 13 19:01:30 EST 2013 A property file type must be specified.
